Yes minimum is correct. Anything over would be fine as they are more than up to the job. Its when you fit 87 load tyres like some semi track tyres are that you would get issues, as they are not up to the minimum specified for the road. Its a play on words so I should have made it clearer in my original post.
If money is an issue then black circle tyres do monthly payments and it only worked out £20 more for me doing it that way than straight out buying. Had a few bills drop in that month on top of the tyres so it saved me buying cheap budgets and I got some PS3 re fittted.

Toyo T1 Sports are a good tyre and grip well with good feedback.

Hi,
Just my £0.02 worth but I've had quite a selection of tyres over the years. On the golf I had a full brand new set of GY eagle F1 Assy2's and they were brilliant, no doubt about it.
But I'm currently running Continental Sport contact 5's and they have been brilliant as far grip goes! Ordinarily I would stay steer clear of Conti's as I find them to be rubbish in the damp (fine in the wet or dry tho) but this latest generation have really improved.........on top of that I find them slightly less stiff so a lot more comfy.

(Fuel Eff.: E Wet Grip: A NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 72dB) Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 OUR PRICE £92.65 inc.VAT
(Fuel Eff.: F Wet Grip: A NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 72dB)/40R18 92Y XL (#) FR TL Continental Conti Sport Contact 5   OUR PRICE £96.20
(Fuel Eff.: C Wet Grip: A NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 70dB) FP TL Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2  SPECIAL OFFER £86.90 inc.VAT
(Fuel Eff.: B Wet Grip: A NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 72dB)92W XL TL Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue

GOODYEAR seems to win it in my opinion? or are the conti's alot softer?

next question shall i stay with 225/40 instead off going 225.35??

thanks
